Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The passage describes a new development that allows department heads and executive managers to view sales results and distribution plans with a single click. This suggests that a corporate portal has been developed, which is a centralized digital platform that provides access to a range of information and resources relevant to an organization. An extranet, SSL network, or virtual private network are not mentioned in the passage and do not appear to be applicable to the described development.
